Congrats goes out to Sai R. Gunturi, who went from 32d in 2000, to 16th in 2001, to 7th in 2002, to #1 in 2003. Goes to show that there's a lot of value in having been there before -- the old "bet on the team that lost in the semi-finals or finals last year" theory that's made me a lot of money over the years (Ahem, New Jersey Nets, I'm talking to you now). Sai plays violin and studies Indian classical music. And he's quite easy on the eyes as well. Here's the link cause I'm feeling dumb.
